This Nornir chest is behind an interactable pillar in the southwest region of The Forbidden Sands. To unlock the First Nornir chest, you will need to ignite three torches. The first Torch is near the chest, which you can ignite using the Chaos of Blade.

However, for the second and third torches, you will need to use Sigil Arrows and build a chain reaction to ignite them. The second chest is on a stone pillar, for which you will have to leave the chest area by moving the interactable pillar. It is pretty easy to spot after you leave the chest area, as it will be on your left.

After doing a Chain Reaction and igniting the second Torch, you will need to look to your right, where you will find the third Torch. It might take some tries at first because it’s too high. However, you can fire sigil arrows on the same spot, which will increase the area of effect of the chain. That way, you can easily ignite the Torch.

After igniting all three torches, you can now go back to the Nornir Chest and claim your reward. It will be either an Idunn Apple, a Horn of Blood Mead, or some other low-level item.

This Nornir Chest is located on the Northeast side of The Forbidden Sands. However, this location is pretty sneaky as it’s hidden underneath the statue. To access that area, you will need to use your Leviathan Axe and break the lower part. It’s too easy to locate yet difficult to notice.

Upon destructing and entering the lower part, you will need to remove the Hive Matter and also ignite the three torches. Moreover, you will also find one of Odin’s Raven there. However, to remove the Hive Matter, you will need to aim at the Purple Stone and throw your Leviathan Axe, which will bounce the Leviathan Axe, removing all the unaligned Hive Matter.

After removing all the Hive Matter, you will need to ignite the three torches to get the Nornir Chest in Forbidden Sands. The first Torch is located on the cliff edge on the left. However, igniting this Torch can be tricky, as it requires you to create a chain using Sigil Arrow from the Torch to the Campfire on its left.

Afterward, you will need to shoot at the Campfire using Sigil Arrows, which will start a reaction causing the Torch to be lit.

The second Torch is opposite the first Torch, which you can ignite in the same way. Create a chain, and then fire at the Campfire, located on its left.

The third Torch is behind the Hive Matter. The Hive Matter is right above the first Torch, which will open by shooting Sonic Arrows at it. To ignite it, you must first create a chain from the first Torch to the third Torch. After that, switch to Sonic Arrows, and shoot at the Hive Matter. Upon doing so, the Hive matter will open. Afterward, quickly switch to the Sigil Arrows and fire at the first Torch, which will create a reaction causing the third Torch to lit.

Thereafter, you can claim the reward from the Nornir Chest in the Forbidden Sands. The reward will be either an Idunn Apple, a Horn of Blood Mead, or some other low-level item.
